Just took in a couple more minutes. The shilling for Putin started about 9 minutes in, nothing egregious yet though.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Ever since the ramp up to this conflict I’ve sought out different perspectives trying to understand the whole situation better besides just the propaganda we are inundated with. So I have checked in periodically on RT (I know, the jokes write themselves) but hadn’t in a long time. After the call with Putin and Trump the other day I decided to see what their perspective is. Found this article to be interesting:

Wow. It’s alarming how many people, like he said in the article, have been trained by propaganda that Putin bad, Z good, end of story. The fact is that the West is very complicit in this entire fiasco.

I’d much rather have a functional diplomatic relationship with Russia like we’ve had most of my lifetime rather than the isolation bullshit the West tried that just pushed them closer to our enemies.   

But Alum, Ray, PAMan and Murph will tell you that was “leading with strength” and Trump reopening diplomacy is him doing Putin’s bidding.

Two good rebuttals of Kuperman’s opinion piece on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1jeia8w/sadly_trump_is_right_on_ukraine/?rdt=58936

And the author and his sources will be attacked as Russian shills and Putin puppets.

I’ll give you credit for at least not posting an op-ed from a smuck who is a member of a Moscow-based think tank and discussion forum.

Custard He/Him is skeptical that the military industrial complex learned much from the Ukraine war other than new ways to scam the American taxpayer.
